Notice that the remnants of the last meal in the first pic.

Honestly, any driver that takes a truck through that entire area at all is loving stupid. There's no lack of signs that is not an area for big rigs.

loving gives me flashbacks to when I did logistics and learned just how inattentive or careless drivers can be.

Michigan lifted its helmet and AND SURPRISE FATALITIES WENT UP. When I'm on my bicycle, I'm always rocking a bright green vest with reflective stripes, lights, and a helmet.

Missouri was wanting to lift the helmet law, and holy lol is that going to be funny.

The only reason I survived my wreck was the full helmet. I blasted the back of my head off the pavement 3 times hard, not to mention the skidding. I don't gently caress around with my helmet choice or any damage found on them.

Yall don't get learner's permits first? You can't even take the BRC in Minnesota as an adult until you have a permit in hand. If you're over 18 all you need here is $21 and a passing mark on a simple written test. So simple that without even glancing at the handbook I was able to pass the practice tests. To be fair, I'm a road cyclist and a lot of the questions apply to all 2 wheel vehicles.

Permit limitations:
Must wear a helmet
No passengers
No interstate highways
No riding from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise

I took mine a long time ago, but you didn't need the MSF course for the license at that time. I did get a good insurance break for taking it, but I also wanted to go because it was a really good course and having a dedicated area to get skilled in a bike is really drat good.

In truckfuckling-adjacent news, this week one of our Ohio drivers saw one of our trailers being pulled by a random owner-operator and called it in- turns out that last week it was stolen from Amazon in Baltimore (Happy Prime day!!!)- he called it in to us and I let the owner of the company know. He instructed the driver to try to safely keep up with him and call the police.

The OO wasn't governed and was going about 80 so our driver lost him, but state PD caught up with him, checked his paperwork, and let him go because Officer Jimbob from Bumblefuck, OH couldn't read our name on the trailer.

Upon hearing this my boss starts calling PDs until he gets the barracks that pulled him over and convinced them to give him the shipper's name. He then calls the shipper and, while cranking up the South Jersey Italian accent to 11, proceeds to threaten them until they give him the consignee. He then redirects our nearest driver to bobtail to the location, block the guy in, and hand him his cell phone so he can threaten the owner-operator until he relinquishes our trailer.

A lot of the improvised weapons and fighting vehicles in the Middle East are seemingly of the "because why not?" variety. They don't actually have any real drive to make an accurate weapon of war as much as they have a bunch of guns and vehicle parts that kinda work and would be better put on a truck than leaving sitting in a pile. Whoever's shooting it may very well have no more training with it than some basic practice with one or two rounds because they don't have a ton of ammo.

Same reason you'll see a rebel get a machine gun and use it by just walking out into the street dumping it from the hip. They have nowhere near enough experience or training to know that they're uselessly dumping ammo. They just know "I have a machine gun and imma shoot it!"

Enfilade, defilade, the beaten area, and interlocking fire aren't concepts they're familiar with so you get a dude dumping a whole belt of ammo on one trigger pull for no actual observed effect.

It's a fun ride until "poo poo I'm empty AND have to run with this thing back to cover with no covering fire and it's heavy and gently caress"

OSHA related:

I remembered some poo poo from old job. The company expected floor personnel to move tugger carts by hand. They were never intended for this, and almost all were broken in a way that made you exert even more force than was safe. Not that the non-broken ones were any better. We brought it up multiple times to hr/safety and it never went anywhere. The doctors and nurses that would visit the plant would bring it up to them as well, and tell us to keep reporting it. Osha would show up, and magically nothing would happen. (the magic being money changing hands or some other clout bullshit)

I'm happy to not be there anymore and never have to go back, but I have friends there still and they say nothing has changed for the positive.

This is a global company that has the means to fix things, but never will.
